Check what Power and Motor Yacht charter editor Kim Kavin says about it:

" It's soothing to become immersed in this dreamy culture, but it's downright decadent to succumb while being pampered aboard Oh Que Luna, one of the finest charter yachts in all of Greece. The Greek charter market has long been an entity unto itself, a closed sector in which foreign-flagged yachts were not allowed to carry paid guests. As in any marketplace that lacks outside competition, the players had the luxury of occasionally choosing profit over performance. This led to the existence of a Greek charter fleet with more than a hundred crewed motoryachts, but with only a few dozen that offer the quality and service the worldwide charter industry demands.

Today, Greek law is changing. The first foreign-flagged yachts going through the paperwork process should be registered for legal charter in time for this summer's season (and the Olympic Games in Athens). With them, these yachts will bring a level of competition destined to bury the lesser performers in the Greek fleet.

On the other hand, a few Greek charter boats will thrive—those that have spent the past few years preparing for the onslaught with refits, crew training, and the adoption of Western business practices and contracts. Within this select group, Oh Que Luna is widely regarded as among the very best. She offers everything you would expect on a yacht in her price range in virtually any port worldwide, along with a crew that uses local knowledge to make the most of each charter. These are not the Colgate-smile kids so often seen washing hull sides in the Caribbean; these are hardworking, middle-aged men with wives and children who consider yachting their careers."

The Yacht is based in Athens' port of Piraeus (30min from international Airport); There are direct flights to Athens from virtually every main city this season -from New York with Delta and Olympic Airways-. Charter cost is 5500 € per day.
